What a story this is. Global ETF and ETP assets at US$7.99 trillion. Millions of small investors across the world getting low-cost diversified access to stocks, bonds and Marijuana ETFs and savings billions in fees.

Although ETFs are orphan products in India, one day in the next 7 to 10 years, ETFs will surely see growth in India. Won't happen before the next beat market happens though.
From about 50 ETFs 2-3 years ago, we're ate 100 ETFs now. We're seeing new bond ETFs aper from those 10 year gilt ones, we now have an emerging line up of smart beta ETFs. That's progress.
Post covid, the volumes have also gone up 3-4 times. And most of this is all retail volumes. I rememner about year and a half ago, LIQUIDBEES was about 15crs a day.
The reason why ETFs are abandoned ducklings of indian AMCs is because there are just about 1.5cr active demat accounts. If you check unique demat, maybe 50% of that. Until then index funds make all the sense.

It's a beautiful Saturday on this Corona riddled planet. It's a good day to do the following:

1. Open your account statement and find out how much commissions you are paying. You'd be paying anywhere between 0.7% to 1.3% extra over direct plans.
1.5 You can download your statement on CAMS, KARVY, NSDL etc.
2. If you are one of those Robinhood Traders and you started mistakenly investing in mutual funds instead of trading mutual funds, commissions can kill you! A simple 1% difference in commissions can add over 10-15 years. This comparison has been done to death but once more. Image

This 👇

This might seem like another "we need financial literacy" tweet. But to me, it's not, here's my theory:

This speaks volumes about the existing system. It's clearly not working for a whole lot of people, particularly the non English folks and young people.
The product sellers are partially to blame. The nonsense they spew in the name of "financial education" is an insult. All those god awful videos and nonsensical garbage masquerading as "content" is enough to make you wanna gouge your eyes out.
This is even worse in the insurance industry where selling trumps everything. And given that banks are the only source of financial advice most people have access to, the problem has reached nightmarish proportions.

Holy shit. 8000 crores raised IN NFOs in a month. Look at the schemes, all pointless garbage!

m.economictimes.com/mf/analysis/eq…
If you look closely, 4 out of the 6 top NFOs in terms of money raised are from bank owned NFOs. These AMCs are notoriously skilled at selling garbage funds through their banking channels. They've turned mis-selling into an art. They're are Picasso's of mis-selling
One would be excused for thinking these are intent based allocations by investors which isn't the case. These funds would've been sold mis-sold by any way possible. Bank RMs are incentivized to do so.

Wow, this NFO gravy train isn't stopping

BNP Paribas Mutual Fund has filed to launch BNP Paribas Aqua Fund of Fund. Underlying fund - BNP Paribas Aqua, which invests in companies with a focus on water. Clearly playing off on the hotness of ESG and global

sebi.gov.in/filings/mutual…
The fund has marginally delivered over the benchmark. But the questions is, is it really worth all the hassle? Taking a fund manager risk, theme risk, style risk etc. Sure, you may get paid for it. But it's a hit or a miss.
In my it often pays to keep costs low and keep things uncomplicated as possible. One thing investors might not realize is that this trend of AMCs with foreign parentage or affiliations launching FOFs for useless global funds will pickup steam if the US performance continues.

Rant!

I'm seeing a lot of responses to this tweet about too many traders, punters and so on. Will all due respect, these snappy takes are just plain wrong. It takes traders, investors, degenerate gamblers, Warren Buffett ka baap value investors, idiots like me,
god level forensic accounting stock pickers to make a market. The most stupidest narrative to have come of this post pandemic boom in users among brokers & other investing platforms is this asinine "Robinhood traders" narrative, I had written bout it too.
nakedbeta.com/musings-rants/…
The insinuation is that apparently, there's a horde of day traders, selling their houses, pledging their body organs and are gambling their money away. The replies in the tweet are an extension of the absolutely dumb narrative.

A nobody cares thread.

Nobody cares about the things that matter - getting investors in, helping new distributors advisors, making things (Slightly) easier for investors, honest mis-selling etc.
Nobody cares about direct plans of mutual funds
Nobody cares about about mutual funds either

Very few care about mutual funds. Just 2.1 crore unique investors. If you probably take out HNIs/institutions in this, that's maybe 20-30%, what's left are the common gareeb folks.
